{guest post from B is for...} Gal Pals!

While she is off speaking another language, seeing new sights and chasing after little ones, I am stepping in to entertain you all.

You want background, right?

Well, I don't have much for you.

I cannot remember how C and I first came across one another but I know that it has been fast and furious.

I am about to state the obvious but Claire is a dear, dear friend of mine.

I fell in love with Claire because she is real.

She stands for what she believes in.

She loves New Orleans and our Saints.

Claire cares with all of her heart.

She won't take no for an answer.

She wants to make the world a better place.

She is passionate about her students, her profession, her poetry and her wine!

I did get the pleasure of meeting Ms. CK but it was the night of my Daddy's passing and it was nowhere near long enough.

So, I wanted to plan a do-over date.

I believe the perfect date for Claire and myself would be:

~ heading to a Saints game and standing on the field~ we would have a spicy vegetarian spread in the locker room with Drew Brees~ going cupcake and wine tasting - at.the.same.time~ hugging and laughing till we pee'd our pants

What a darling post, Summer! For me and my best girl friend we would start at our favorite coffee shop (tea for her, she's expecting a baby!), we would shop all afternoon for home decor and sparkly things and then find a comfy spot to discuss love, life and, of course, babies! :)

A long late leisurly breakfast, shopping, a chic flic, afternoon sweet treat nibble and a dressed up fun night out, let's do it all in NYC or Paris too. Or, you know hanging around the house, with a good friend it just doesn't matter. Very sorry about your father Summer. Blessings to you.

Aw, this is such a sweet tribute to girlfriendship! Nothing like time with gal pals. I would love to wander the streets of a big city forever with mine (NYC, London, Paris, Rome :))...window shopping and stopping for anything that looks delicious.

oh i love claire for so many of those same reasons. i think her brain is gorgeous and love to talk to her about the things she is passionate about. one day i hope i get to meet her in person and have a long, long, long chat peppered with many laughs. for now, i am so happy we have gchat!

This is so sweet :) I'm sure you two will meet again under other circumstances. I have to agree about the cupcake and wine tasting. Though I might change cupcakes to cheese! Wishing you both a beautiful day!
